Subscribe To This Site A look at South Africa History Apartheid in South Africa Looking at South Africa history, the policy of consistent racial separation was introduced in 1910 through a group of laws that further curtailed the rights of the black majority. The "Mines and Works Act" of 1911, for example, limited black workers exclusively to menial work and so guaranteed the availability of cheap labour and secured the better positions for white workers. The "Native Land Act" of 1913 set aside 7.3 per cent of South African territory as reservations for black people and barred them from buying land outside these areas. Deprived of the right to vote or to strike, the black population had no means of political influence, and so the ANC, African National Congress, and other resistance and liberation movements formed. They were all initially badly organized and minimally effective. The white governments pursued their politics virtually without obstruction. After the Second World War, the conflicts intensified and black workers went on a number of wild strikes. The whites became nervous and helped the right-wing National Party to an overwhelming election victory in the elections of 1948. The NP was led by D.F. Malan, who stood for drastic measures against the "black menace," coined the concept of "apartheid" and consistently enforced this devious policy. From then on, it was not "only" about the separation of the races in the economic sector, but increasingly the private domain of all non-white people was regulated and controlled as well. Marriage or any love realationship between members of different racial groups were forbidden, and in all public institutions and offices, in public transport and on public toilets, racial segregation was introduced. More detrimental because of long-term consequences was the education system, the so-called Bantu education, which tried to keep the black children at a very low standard. Subjects were even dish washing and the weeding of flower beds.

Ancient History European Contact The Mineral Revolution Union and Opposition ... Birth of Democracy Ancient History European Contact Natal’s economy at this time was boosted by the development of sugar plantations in the subtropical coastal lowlands, a development for which large numbers of Indian indentured labourers were imported. The Mineral Revolution Union and Opposition The Rise of Apartheid After the Second World War, in 1948, the pro-Afrikaner National Party (NP), came to power with an ideology that was to become infamous: apartheid, an even more rigorous and authoritarian approach than the segregationist policies of previous governments. While white South Africa was cementing its power, black opposition politics was undergoing a sea change. In 1943, a younger, more determined political grouping came to the fore with the launch of the ANC Youth League, a development which was to foster the leader-ship of figures such as Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo and Walter Sisulu. Repression Defiance The Defiance Campaign of the early 1950s carried mass mobilization to new heights under the banner of non-violent resistance to the pass laws. In 1955, a Freedom Charter was drawn up at the Congress of the People in Soweto. The Charter enunciated the principles of the struggle, binding the movement to a culture of human rights and non-racialism. Matters came to a head at Sharpeville in March 1960 when 69 PAC anti-pass demonstrators were killed. A state of emergency was imposed, and detention without trial was introduced. The mass-based organizations including the ANC and the Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC) were banned.

World Cup Soccer South Africa History Taking a look back into the past of South Africa, you will see a country that was torn apart by segregation of the black and white people. This was known as the Apartheid era. In recent times the people of South Africa have made huge advances to leave that stigma behind and move forward as a new and united people. Prior to the Apartheid era, South Africa was largely unknown to the world until the exploits of European explorers such as Vasco Da Gama, Bartholomew Diaz, Antonio de Saldanha and Jan Van Riebeeck. Each of these made their mark in discovering the country mainly on due to the shorter trade route around Cape Point. The first person to round the tip of Africa was Bartholomew Diaz in 1488. There is a monument to him that can be seen at Cape Point. The next explorer to round the tip was Vasco Da Gama and his journey was even more successful as he managed to reach India, thus establishing a working direct route to the East from Europe, making trade relations much easier. The first Europeans to land on the shores of South Africa at Cape Town were the squadron led by Antonio de Saldanha. They were the first foreigners to climb Table Mountain and to give it its first name of Taboa do Cabo meaning the Table Cape. The next famous of the Europeans to land here was Jan Van Riebeeck from the Dutch East India Company. He was ordered to set up a port base for the Eastern Trade Route vessels and to plant vegetable and fruit gardens for the sailors. He built a castle fort which still stands in Cape Town today and is open for tours.

Why not get some idea of the fascinating history which has taken the country to where we are today? I've devoted a few pages to this subject and it makes for interesting reading. The earliest representatives of South Africa's diversity - at least the earliest we can name - were the San and Khoekhoe peoples (otherwise known individually as the Bushmen and Hottentots or Khoikhoi; collectively called the Khoisan ). Both were resident in the southern tip of the continent for thousands of years before its written history began with the arrival of European seafarers. And before that, modern human beings had lived here for more than 100,000 years - indeed, the country is an archaeological treasure chest The hunter-gatherer San ranged widely over the area; the pastoral Khoekhoe lived in those comparatively well-watered areas, chiefly along the southern and western coastal strips, where adequate grazing was to be found. So it was with the latter that the early European settlers first came into contact - much to the disadvantage of the Khoekhoe.

Email this page to a friend South Africa History After the British seized the Cape of Good Hope area in 1806, many of the Dutch settlers (the Boers) trekked north to found their own republics. The discovery of diamonds (1867) and gold (1886) spurred wealth and immigration and intensified the subjugation of the native inhabitants. The Boers resisted British encroachments, but were defeated in the Boer War (1899-1902). The resulting Union of South Africa operated under a policy of apartheid - the separate development of the races. The 1990s brought an end to apartheid politically and ushered in black majority rule.
